I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at Harvard University, where I also received an A.M. in Statistics. I study International Political Economy, with a focus on foreign direct investment, multinational firms, and environmental and labor regulation. My CV is available here.

My current work centers on the interaction between foreign capital and state sovereignty. While many studies have investigated how foreign investors influence regulatory standards, my dissertation book project instead examines how regulatory enforcement responds to investment inflows. In other projects, I study how governments tax and regulate mobile capital through instruments including tax treaties, as well as how national identity shapes these dynamics. My work has received the American Political Science Association’s Best Poster Award, the APSA-NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (DDRIG), and an honorable mention for the International Studies Association’s Martin O. Heisler Award.
